    Paint correction

    What are the little dots often seen after some light to heavy paint correction?

    Got a pic? Are they white dots?

    Often there are tiny little pits / stone chips in the paint which weren't previously noticable, but become noticed when they fill up with polish and/or wax residue.

    If that happens, it's a matter of being more thorough with product removal, or do a wipedown with IPA.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.
